In a continuous effort to make Oracle technologies more accessible to the developer community, we are happy to announce today the removal of the click-through license agreement and the relicensing of Oracle Application Express (APEX) and Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) under the Oracle Free Use Terms and Conditions (FUTC) license.
This change follows the path of the already relicensed Oracle Database 18c Express Edition (February 2020) and Oracle SQLcl command-line interface (May 2021).
What does this license change mean?
With the Oracle Free Use Terms and Conditions license, users will no longer have to click on a "license agreement" box on the website prior to download. Instead, the binaries will be openly accessible on the web and can be downloaded directly via the following URLs:
◉ APEX: https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/apex/apex-latest.zip
◉ ORDS: https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/java/ords/ords-latest.zip
This makes it easier than ever to consume these technologies directly, in an automated fashion, or in a CI/CD environment.
For a full list of the rights of the FUTC license, see either the license file within the software archive itself or here: https://www.oracle.com/downloads/licenses/oracle-free-license.html
Oracle continues its commitment to the community and will base future releases of APEX and ORDS under the Free Use Terms and Conditions license as well.
About APEX
Using APEX, developers can quickly develop and deploy compelling apps that solve real problems and provide immediate value. You won't need to be an expert in a vast array of technologies to deliver sophisticated solutions. Focus on solving the problem and let APEX take care of the rest.
